What is DMX?

DMX is a lighting control protocol. Here is a link to a great article that will help explain the fundamentals of DMX.

How do I setup the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400 with a DMX controller?

If you are going to use the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400 with a DMX controller, follow the steps suggested below:

Connect a DMX cable from the DMXoutput on the DMX controller that you are using, and attach it to the DMX input on the Gesture Beam 400. Below is a picture showing this.

You can chain up to 32 Gesture Beam 400 units together by linking each through the built in DMX output to the DMX input of the following unit.

Does the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400 have a sound active mode?

The Gesture Beam 400 does have an automatic "sound active" mode. This allows the unit to operate independently and perform an "easy show" for you, free of a DMX controller.

How do I setup the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400 in Slave mode?

The Gesture Beam 400 has a slave mode so you can connect multiple Gesture Beam 400's together and have them sync up. The Slave mode for the Gesture Beam 400 has 4 different modes that will give you variations of colors and patterns and will stay in sync with the master Gesture Beam 400. These modes allow you to have a bit more fun with your standalone units while keeping them all in time.

What is the Powerlink feature?

The Powerlink feature lets you link up to 6 Gesture Beam 400's together with power cables (IEC cables). One reason to do this may be if you have a shortage of wall outlets or power supplies to plug multiple units into. You can then power all of them when having just one Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400 connected to a wall outlet.

Insert the included power cable into the wall and then the other end into the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400.

On the opposite power plug on the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400 you will see a power jack that works the opposite way. On this jack plug the opposite end of an IEC cable here.

Now plug the other end of the power cable into the power jack of another Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400. This will supply power to the Marq Lighting Gesture Beam 400.
